When I try signing in to an SQL database that I am using for a dataset on the Microsoft account tab, it tells me to clear credentials. I'll clear credentials that exist and then it still won't sign me in. What should I do next?

Above is the error I get.
I have gone into data source settings to clear the permissions and am able to clear/delete the global stored permissions but the not permissions on the file, which seemingly aren't working.
Best!
Hi @mkhammel_2022_b ,
Can you provide the manner in which you cleared the voucher? Do you clear the credentials and then reconnect to the sql data source in the following area.
If the problem is still not resolved, please provide detailed error information and related operation screenshoots. Looking forward to your reply.
